If you're loopback-mounting individual isos as required, I think you can just switch to another VC and symlink /dev/cdrom to the mounted image. If you've got them mounted all the time, you can stick deb file: statements in /etc/apt/sources.list pointed at the mounted images. (Can't remember the syntax off the top of my head but a combination of man sources.list and experimentation should get you there :-) ) -- Pigeon Be kind to pigeons Get my GPG key here: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x21C61F7F
